Correlation between maximum voluntary ContraCtion and enduranCe measured by digital palpation and manometry: an observational study rev assoC med bras 2016; 62 (7) Introduction: Digital palpation and manometry are methods that can provide information regarding maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) and endurance of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM), and a strong correlation between these variables can be expected. Objective: To investigate the correlation between MVC and endurance, measured by digital palpation and manometry. Method: Forty-two women, with mean age of 58.1 years (±10.2), and predominant symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), were included. Examination was firstly conducted by digital palpation and subsequently using a Peritron manometer. MVC was measured using a 0-5 score, based on the Oxford Grading Scale. Endurance was assessed based on the PERFECT scheme. Results:We found a significant positive correlation between the MVC measured by digital palpation and the peak manometric pressure (r=0.579, p<0.001), and between the measurements of the endurance by Peritron manometer and the PERFECT assessment scheme (r=0.559, p<0.001). Conclusion:Our results revealed a positive and significant correlation between the capacity and maintenance of PFM contraction using digital and manometer evaluations in women with predominant symptoms of SUI.

“…In our study, the mean values of the basal tone, especially in the assessments 1 and 2 are above 5 μV, considered the appropriate upper limit for the electrical activity of the muscle during rest 18 . According to Wehbe et al 20 , the muscle with high tone, despite being apparently in the maximum contractile capacity, may not have sufficient strength to withstand a minimum load, like gravity.…”

“…Unlike other skeletal striated muscles, PFMs are characterized by maintaining a constant electromyographic activity, except during urination, defecation and Valsalva maneuver 18 . Thus, even during rest, PFMs maintain a constant electrical activity and low frequency.…”

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo é comparar a função dos músculos do assoalho pélvico no segundo e terceiro trimestre gestacional de primigestas. Foi desenvolvido em duas unidades de Saúde da Família do município de Aracaju (SE). As gestantes foram submetidas a três avaliações da função dos músculos do assoalho pélvico por meio da eletromiografia de superfície: até 16 semanas gestacionais, entre a 24ª-28ª e 34ª-36ª semanas gestacionais. Foram registrados valores de repouso, contrações voluntárias máximas e contrações sustentadas. Os dados foram tabulados no Microsoft Excel e analisados estatisticamente no programa Statistica. Adotou-se um nível de significância de 5% (p≤0,05). Participaram do estudo 19 primigestas, com média de idade de 21,74±3,65 anos. Houve aumento da massa corporal no 3º trimestre gestacional em relação ao período pré-gestacional e diminuição da média do sinal dos músculos do assoalho pélvico durante o repouso ao longo das três avaliações. A musculatura abdominal diminuiu a média do sinal no repouso e durante a contração sustentada nas avaliações 2 e 3 comparadas à avaliação 1. Pode-se concluir que outros fatores, além dos relacionados ao aumento da massa corporal materna, podem estar associados à sobrecarga nos MAP durante a gestação logo no primeiro trimestre. Essa sobrecarga pode fazer que as gestantes apresentem um tônus muscular próximo ao limite superior de referência, alterando o padrão de atividade eletromiográfica principalmente no repouso, a fim de manter a função de sustentação dos órgãos pélvicos e de continência.

“…Одним из самых распространенных и хорошо вос-производимых методов остается неинвазивная оценка функционального состояния ЗАПК и тазового дна с помощью интерференционной ЭМГ [9,11,12,[20][21][22][23][24]. Для регистрации биоэлектрической активности (БЭА) мышц ЗАПК и тазового дна используются вну-трианальные или игольчатые электроды.…”
